drank Cherry Cola Bottles by Bird & Blend Tea Co.
1394 tasting notes

Bird & Blend Advent Day 17 (17-December 2020)

After waiting, the wee plant shop we get our plants from had the Calathea rosy back in stock!

This tea had a bit of a repellent scent in the dry sachet — spicy, yet medicinal. Steeped, the scent is more mellow, but now sweetly spicy. Is that the cola nut? I don’t know if I want to continue drinking this, after the first stevia-filled sip. Am I drinking Vick’s VapoRub? Maybe this will be better chilled?

A does say it tastes like cherry cola, but it’s not something that should be a flavour of tea. She ended up tossing hers out.

Bio

I love black tea and this is usually what’s in my mug. I’m also happy to enjoy a cup of green or red rooibos, herbals, oolongs (unroasted/green and red preferable to roasted), whites, and subtly flavoured greens.

Likes:
Raspberry, strawberry, peach, apricot, rhubarb, passionfruit, blackcurrant, redcurrant, fig, and most fruits in general, maple, creaminess, hay, biscuit, lavender, and cacao/dark chocolate.

I enjoy bergamot when paired with flavours that mellow it.

Dislikes:
Any smokiness at all, stevia, too much blackberry leaf, rose, jasmine, ginger (except in chai), cinnamon-heavy teas, anything cloying or fake/candy-like.

I’m vegan and have an allergy to potatoes, so I avoid any animal products in tea, along with sprinkles as these often have potato starch (I’ll happily pick them out of blends).
